Who Knew?

Muziic is a Windows application that essentially gives you free music by letting you stream the audio tracks from YouTube videos (including music videos and live performances). A 15-year old kid made this. Crazy, ingenious and also begging for a lawsuit.

 “Any song that’s been uploaded to YouTube is available in Muziic,” [CNET reviewer Matt] Rosoff wrote. “This includes music unavailable on most commercial services, like the full Pink Floyd performance at Live 8 and Led Zeppelin’s one-off performance in 2007.”
[David’s dad] Mark, a machine worker for Alcoa, said he and David worked hard to ensure that the site complied with YouTube’s API. For example, YouTube requires videos play in any new app. So, the Nelsons inserted a tiny player in the interface. Will that satisfy YouTube? We’ll have to wait and see.
